If God already knows
What is good for us
Then why pray to god
If everything is an action reaction equation
How does prayer help the situation
If everything is predetermined
The whole task of Prayer is undermined
In the long run we are dead anyway
Why not look the other way
If skill  determines what we get
How is prayer going to be of any help
KV Srikanth Feb 2021
At your Wits End
In a Vicious Circle
Situation a Catch 22
When all paths are closed
There is one Path Open

Place of Worship
Pleading with
Straight face for
Almighty 's Grace

Forgiveness sought
In Guilt cought
Faith in the Unknown
Fills the heart

Hope and Faith
Double edged
Betwixt and Between
Signals imagined
Favorably positioned

Disillusioned Doubtful
Embittered Skeptical
Lost Faith Since
Acceptance Assurance
Confidence Credence
Regained Faith Hence

Visits increase
Prayers intense
False pretense
Now Past Tense

Fruition of objective
Removal of obstacle
Reasons for increase
Place of worship

Process processed
Hope and Despair
ECG line
Turn out fine
Matter of time
Nothing will change
All for Nothing

Logical outcomes
Mutually exclusive
One Act of God
Remains Elusive
Faith in hope
God has to prove
His existence to you

Hope in faith
Period sustains
Outcome decides
Almighty s fate

Turns out a joke
Purpose at crossroads
Seeking his grace
Down the road
Seeking proof of grace

A solemn request
Is a quest
Magic expected
In this shortcut
If the Miracle
Were to happen
It would have
Already happened
KV Srikanth Nov 2021
Politics and Religion
Creates permanent division
Passion for Sports and Arts
Sets you apart
Philosopher and guide
Leads the divide
Uniqueness in men
Each holding to his belief system
Whatever the intention
Having a discussion
Ends in mutual dissatisfaction

Enriching the soul
The only goal
Learning is for learning
Internal change manifesting
Verbalising only reducing
Value of the teaching

Becoming your lifestyle
You can decide
Wearing it on your sleeve
Don't think but feel

Decision to change
If external then fake
Found your teacher
Zen State not to  preach

A state of Zen
Inside and within
Remain in Zen
Only available solution

Validating the authenticity
Works both ways naturally
Avoid the process completely
Results in neutrality

With the flow in harmony
Be present not in dichotomy
Just be
Be
KV Srikanth Nov 2022
The next second is so uniquely unpredictable for everyone
KV Srikanth Sep 2022
The present being
Ever present in the present
Being in the present
Which is only present
Present never ceases
As every moment is present
Awareness of the present
Makes one feel the present in its prescence
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Ability to **** in hostility
Proves you can **** when neccasary
Powerful and Invincible
Don't go well Torture and ******

Individual or a Country
False sense of security
Innocents displaced and killed
Buying fear never respected

Insecurity costing lives
Cannot be a matter of pride
Women and children on the run
To teach someone else a lesson

Power measured by prosperity
Not the count of dead bodies
Feeling endangered in a society
An anethma to civility

Exploiting the weakness
Not a cause for celebration
Celebrating the weakness
A path to oneness

Ability to fight
To make the enemy bite the dust
Puissant folks getting together
Trap the weaker in a street corner

Capacity to lay waste
Letting go as a matter of taste
Real power lies in the grace
Saviour Faire conviction alone dictates

Dislike and hate
Will appear in haste
Love and like
Takes a lifetime

Making people look small
Always the need of the hour
Keeping them there forever
Core of human endeavour

Peace should prevail
The sufferings ending
Borders noe the barriers
Interactions now senior

Include a thought  everyday
It is the small things that add up
Let peace prosperity prevail
All happy inspite of their travails

Destruction no problem
Building a Himalayan solution
Insult no dearth of vocabulary
Memory functioning in full capacity

Dividing is easy
Leaves things messy
Let us all live in peace and prosperity
Please infuse Harmony
KV Srikanth Jun 2021
Can buy anything that is for sale
Regrettably happiness is not
Finds its match in any price tag
Whats the tag attached to man
Who knows he cannot take this to no mans land
KV Srikanth Jan 2023
A film celebrating
The greatness of a Nation
Patriotism its theme
Sacrifice its Core

A Cinema hall
Name translates as Gift
The hall playing the film
Would soon become a Coffin

Lives of many
Ended before they started
Kids on the aisles
Engulfed by the flames

Arrogance of power
That money can buy
Negligence of repair
Transformers unleashed their power

Smoke spreading across
Car parks and gates
Fire  keeping it's date
In all its rage

Hell brakes loose
All for a fuse
Stairwell and Ariel
Sounded the deathknell

Running towards the exit
Emergency lights not fixed
Chaos and confusion
People already dying of asphyxiation

Fire alarm not installed
Authorities knew it all
Even the Projection not stalled
Seating arrangements breaking the law

Box seats gates closed
Exit gates bolted
A careless employee
Took a break by bolting the middle gate

Deviations and violations
Fire service delayed
Gangways failed to accommodate
Balcony seemed far away

Exposed to carbon monoxide
Succumbed and died
Toll stood at 59
Injured crossed a hundred

A full house
Turned many into empty homes
Tragedy cover up with travesty
Ticket price  not just a life

Friday the 13 th
7 th month of 1997
Set the record for the ticket prize
A life for a seat
KV Srikanth Jun 2021
Empty your Cup
Free of thoughts past
Choiceless awareness
Non judgmental in the present
Be flexible
Fixated and Opinionated is easily breakable
There is no opponent
Self knowledge clears the confusion
Not tense but ready
Complete focus on the fray
Not thinking not Dreaming
Outcome not in the Reckoning
Keep Practicing
Integrity on doing
One with the opponent
Fluidity in motion
Dont think feel
Heartfelt effort on the deed
Express yourself
Truth from within not suppressed
Have no technique
Learn practice forget
Self Actualization
Knowledge of self without imitation
Self Image Actualization
Projection a false sense of who we are without inhibition
Be Water
Be soft and you cant be hurt
No way as way
Using all methods available
Having no limitations as limitations
Get past barriers and projections
Emptiness
Egoless equations
KV Srikanth May 2022
Living trying to satisfy
Other people's needs
Is a life well spent
Weaker than us
In all walks of life
Only if God had intended otherwise
Priority to their well being
Over our own safekeeping
Thoughts and Feelings
Empathetic towards the needs
Compassion sows the seeds
Grateful that the opportunity
To help the needy
Was given to us by the Almighty
Your number is up
Staring at death's alley
That you held someone's hand
God is holding your other hand

The safe deposit locker
That you take with you
As baggage to be calculated
The only currency that has value

The good that you
Did to others
Selfless service to mankind
Is the only thing gauged
Granting glory and immortality
KV Srikanth Apr 2022
Facing s situation
Not under our control
Next step of action
To be well thought out before taken

We call it problem
Unwelcome and harmful
To be dealt with
Has to be overcome

The problem with the problem
Is it takes over the mind
Gets thought process to focus all the attention on it
Woefully takes the form of Worry

The formless form
Uses its description to its advantage
Can't point at it
Takes more forms and diverts

Causes more damage
Than already is
Worry bring focused on
The problem is as it is

Not accepting a situation
Takes the form of a problem
Inability to come to terms
Causes the stress that comes

Acceptance pushes out worry
Mind now focussed fully
Dealing with the issue at hand
No distraction standing behind

Time and energy
Taken to worry
Diverted to address and
Solve the issue

You face the problem
You worry about it
Your thinking overcomes it
You get freed of it

The problem is not outside
The problem is you
If it is solved inside
There's none outside
KV Srikanth Jun 2021
Image Actualization
Agenda of projection
Acts of deviation
Covered with manipulation

Your lifestyle mocked
Dressing sense joked
Expenses told
Hiding in the name of truth

Honesty questioned
Integrity doubted
Ridiculed repeatedly
Image built for covering their personality

Image of honesty
Hidden under rudeness
I speak only the truth
Remember only wherever it suits

Image Actualization
Agenda of projection
Acts of deviation
Covered with manipulation

Lectures on honesty
All flowing freely
Spoken of self glowingly
Total lack of modesty

Witness to acts
Sabotaging the facts
Silent when time to react
Make up on continuing to act

Such a clown
Will spiral down
Not aware of his fall
Image Actualization his downfall
KV Srikanth Feb 2022
Way past the prime
No idea of day date or time
None of these make a difference
Cause there is nothing requiring inference
Sunrise and Sunset only adding beauty
Not interested in its duty
Days and Nights
Come and Go
I have no where to go
Have to live with myself
Memories run on a projector
Screening a movie called Reminiscing
Repeated viewing 3 shows daily
Never gets tiring
Good ol days  
Life taking its Many ways
Based on choices made
Regret or don't
Matters no more
Except in the light from the projector beaming
Sitting in the Aisle seat
Watching a movie
Reflecting my own reality
In a movie directed by many
Produced by destiny
Will continue watching
As even though its maker
Even I do not know when it will end
KV Srikanth Apr 2021
Questions & Answers
Identified with Examinations
Ratified with gradations
Culminating in Graduation

Turned towards life
Becomes about Realisation
Ratification and Gradation
Discarded at its origination

Synchrony of the mind
One with body & soul
Knowledge that helps you mold
Harmony with the World

Truth to be told
No answers to behold
In the question lies the answer
Graduation the quest of the seeker

One with the maker
Journey of the traveller
Route guide within
Shadow unlike living & breathing

Shadow a reflection
Yourself in a close position
No purpose to serve
Useful only for proverbs

Illuminate the inside
Doubts move aside
Images created by self
Defeats the purpose itself

Light of knowledge
Removes darkness of *******
Cycle of birth & death
Permanently beaten to death

Fear of death and future
Removed permanently
Achieved highest state of maturity
Transcended the questions
Landed on the answer
Which raises the question
What is the question?
R
KV Srikanth Jul 2021
R
Insults targeted to defame
Mockery used as a method to frame
Made up stories imagined to malign
The greatest Martial Artist and Legend

In your face racism
Step brother of fascism
Dishonoring an actor
The way he looks and character

Legends  are  not private property
They remain in the hearts of everybody
Telling them to go **** a ####
Shows the arrogance & lack of class sans logic

Repeatedly bringing him
As a form for promotion
Attracts huge attention
Seems to be another intention

No ratification needed
Insults best ignored
Move ahead with the mission
Under his able guidance

Insulting a dead man
Worst act in s lifespan
Respecting the dead
Shows a man with self respect


Opinion of one Person
Doesn't require the comprehension
Doing it for many reasons
The one who rants gets the bad opinion

Offence is intended
Their souls will be contended
Only when the other is offended
And very often repeated

Put him in a boat
Hold on to the rope
Best way to deal
Keep moving the keel
KV Srikanth Nov 2021
Wet roads
sky remaining dark
Woman of your choice
By luck or chance
A walk on the wayside
Side and beside
Holding hands
Hearts talk
Never ending road
Not a soul in sight
Silence our umbrella
Rain drop hitting the road
Providing the background score
No destination in mind
Walking slow insides glow
Weather not indicating
Time of the day
Time has stopped
Hearts beating fast
Fingers clasped harder
Getting wet no choice
Not a bother in the  mind
Recording it in memory
For a future day rewind
KV Srikanth May 2021
Origins in the french language
A words that fits into every subject
Difficult in its understanding
Ubiquitous in expressing

The word random
Etimology in randon
Usage not random
Meaning do we fathom ?

A subject on its own
A theory explored by many
Headlined under statistics
Also in Metaphysics


Statistical meaning
Makes it interesting
Equal chance for happening
Each one involving


Complex the data
Solution in Formula
Solved the data
Another requires another formula

Without rhyme or reason
Any events causation
Theres no correlation
Tying together causation and correlation mankinds biggest problem

Unfamiliar and unspecified
Person or deed
Arbitrary without a corollary A  method in its madness innate quality

Applicable to thoughts
Where it default belongs
Traveling without destination
Not governed by the power of the conscience decision

Random existing naturally
Probability man made theory
Anything undefinable makes man uneasy
Oxymoronic activity the theory of probability

Probability makes it easy
Vistas opened for the theory
Wars won on this capability
Predictability in the unpredictability

The structure of Universe
Answers so diverse
Einstein had his calculation
Philosophers call it revelation

Stay in the present
Mantra for great achievement
Thought process not defined
Isnt that path also refined ?
RAT
KV Srikanth Apr 2022
RAT
Friends from childhood
Ignored and abandoned
Grew up concomitantly
Yet so differently

Days of hunger
Hanging around at a film theatre
Pocket picking only option
Do the deed with hope of escaping

Passing the purse
To his friend an accomplice
Tries to flee the scene
Before doing an act so obscene

Cought by the public
Mind and body static
The friend does not panic
Hides the wallet under the car wheels

Cought red handed
Turns the tables single handed
Lays the blame on his friend
And claims total innocence

The accomplice under the radar
Beaten up and questioned by the public at large
Questioned if he took it
Denies it vehemently

Forced to return the stolen wallet
Doesn't think even for a minute
Claims innocence of its whereabouts
Doesn't help in easing the people's doubts

Finally grilled if his friend did the act
Replies I have no idea about  the fact
Death at you doorstep never rat
Learnt from this young boy whose character is intact

Did you take it
No
Did your friend take it
I don't know
Where is the wallet
Which wallet
You ll be beaten to death
Go ahead

A lone traveller
On a trip
I don't know where
The destination is
Drifting along where
The waves of destiny
Take me along
My uncle my mentor
Passed away
A couple of weeks back
Reiterated the fact
That i have no clue
What my future has
Planning predicting and preparing
There of the greatest vices
Detoxification centres required
To rid me of this habit
Facing withdrawal symptoms
Intensity not reduced
Corrected myself of
Not living in the future
Based on the dreams
That play in my head
Self sufficient are those
Who stand alone
The others follow in a crowd
Am i self sufficient i don't know yet
Trying to be in that process
Still work in progress
Not excited not scared
What is tommorow going to bring
Even tomorrow does is not aware
Of the events lined up within
An engine pulling the carriages
With no rear view mirror
I dont await  it
For I'm not sure
If iam in it
KV Srikanth Jul 2021
Alone or Amidst
Feeling or Thinking
Slogged or Sluggish
Accomplished or Failed
Celebration or Dejection
A Double on the rocks
Compliments  the emotion
Desired or wanting to be forsaken
KV Srikanth Jan 2021
I reflect upon my infancy living a life of fear and boredom
Had a brother who was a decade senior
Who was nothing short of a mentor
Fear drove me to the movies searching and yearning for stars
Who I found in abundance and what was absent in my soul was present in their role
Testosterone filled powder keg scenes blitzkrieg in front of me.
Mere Images they weren't
As real as reality was
The line dissolved as I vicariously fought the villains of my life
My mind wars were in full throttle
Me emerging the victor Unaware that imagination was making me the victim
Decades it took to draw the line again
Reality was reborn
And rickety split was leading a life of fear and boredom
Boredom took me in search of humans
None had humanity exploited my inadequacy again I went as perceptible was never obvious to me
Leading me on a circle of Savagery unleashed by the bullies
Fear and boredom outside adopted a demon called esteem inside
As it touched it's nadir
Living was given another name called hell
But none of this could I tell
Bruised ego is the soldier who replaces Sensitivity
The spiral road down has no end but has many stops
Picking the wrong passengers along the way
The boundaries are  dissolved between humane and inhumane
Diatribe rhetoric and tirades encompassed the being
Even the partisan benefactors saw no point in my living
Speaking the untruth is the first step on the Pathway to Hell
Other ignoble attributes are endowed upon effortlessly
Traveling on the path with fear boredom lies rants and the whole shebang I realised that I had been dumped unceremoniously
It's the river of no return that  I was sailing my boat on
What was I on
Could I continue living on that mode accelerating the demon inside at the speed of the Apollo
Mind Body intellect and soul was at a new low
Guilt was built with the concrete of dishonour blasphemy impiety and irreverence
Schizophrenic nature of piety religion and philosophy did not help
Reality remained blurred again
Only the Constants changed
Jeet Kune do translates as The art of the intercepting fist Founded by Bruce Lee Martial Artist Actor Writer Director Choreographer Producer Dancer Teacher and Philosopher
Addiction was replaced by Connection
Thinking was replaced by Feeling
Ranting was replaced by
Acting
Outward was replaced by Inward
Whatever led me to his path
The cause and effect I don't know
For his path is no path
I now know what I know
Reality had emerged
Tentpoles have submerged
I have Bruce to thank
Who says don't thank for I haven't thought you anything
Because there are no others to teach
There's only self
Which also ceases on enquiry
There are no others there’s no I
What is left is Right
Nothing is what it seems
Nobody is who they really are
Grumble moan and whine
Still surprised at paucity of  humanity benign
Realize he should for that is the  habitude
Paradigm followed blindly with the prototypes walking before him
Rehearsed and Crafted
Complicated he becomes
Complication is easy
Simplicity is tough
Were he to know
And if this were to grow
Extinct becomes of sorrow
In the dark about the light
Unable to conceive that
Honest expression is the hardest trait
Simplicity Fluidity and directness
The only path to oneness
Painful that they never meet
Feel from your heart and be driven by emotional competence,comprehend
Thinking and Rational leads often to a dead end
This world is not for honest men
But it cannot prevent men from being honest
And the gratification they derive from their conscientious conduct
And deprive them the luxury
of a good night s sleep
Impeccable invoking inspired infallibility is immune in inception
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Mastery gained by learning
A philosophy or Ideology
To your understanding
Most in tune with your personality
Getting recognised by society

Read teachings and explanations
Or learnt it step by step
Hearing discourses
A lifetime commitment
To learning what lies within

Everyone had a conviction
They have adapted themselves to
Feel very strongly about the lessons

Has helped in their progression
The change it has
Caused in you
That you credit your doctrine
Is not decided by the opinion
Of anyone outside of self

How much has it altered
Is decided not by
Proving that your learning
Is better than the rest
Its popularity versus another
Comparing the Masters who espoused them

Catalyst of reform
Is judged by none of the above forms
There is no norm
Each has the right to a place to belong

Integrity to yourself
How much you implement
Areas you cannot help
Combination of action and faith

How honest you are
In your gains and flaws
The status quo's you wanted to change
But so far could not

Seeking ratification from
Others whoever it is
Will lead to heart aches
Something so dear but they may have another take


Best way to know
If there is a flow
Is not in giving back
Insults or wisecracks

Thrown of balance
How quickly you recover
Emotions played with
Anger replaced by composure


Clarity in the fact
It is not victory or defeat
It is honest expression
Without hurting any sentiment

When insulted or cornered
Untie the knot and release the boat
A fight to prove superiority
You have already lost the fight

No philosophy or master
Asks you to be a fool
People will throw darts
Be unapologetic about your chosen path

Hurt  and react
Emotions and Thoughts
How quickly you
Are able to move to the next task
Forgetting this happened at all

Walking on ahead
Leaving this behind
Not even aware of its source
You are flowing in the right course
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Religon and caste
Conversations across
A refugee in our
Sub conscious mind
Finds itself a form of expression
Division of man
Made permanent
Lineage taking credence
When nothing should
Lucky are the pets
No division amongst them
Fortunately man has
Not been able to create one
In harmony with each
How many ever there may be
Birthed has no role
Neither a wardrobe
Names don't trigger
Thoughts about race or gender
Addressed to as such
They respond as much
Expressing themselves
Not made up for role play
Simple in their living
Thinking stops with being simple
Under the sky Under the heaven
We are but one family
Style seperate man
Don't believe in style
Universe tries to pretend
That as the major goal to tend
Animal kingdom evolution
Above humans in the podium
Willing they are to share the spot
But we humans want it all
By toppling them off
A game they don't understand
We presume from our grandstand
Laughing within themselves
Shallow human behaviour
Larger in Number
Divided by another
At war with each other
Over things that don't matter
KV Srikanth May 2022
Causing hurt by act or Words
Others forget with time or by indifference
Scar caused within
Cannot be independent of the inside
Neither does time exist outside
Exit doors shut
Front row seats to watch
Yourself wallow in regret
Retribution none greater
Life sentence in a loop
Refusing to let go
Mind begs for parole
Conscience denies it
At one go
Thrown to the lions
A matter of seconds
Living with regret
Memory keeps vigil
Playing the warden
Prisoner in your own mind
Trust me the better of with the lions
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Fragile like glass
Derail a bit too fast
Relationships that don't last
Reason evident on the cards
A nature to express
Dislike  straight to the face
Dominating personality
Tilting the scales
Inferiority complex multiplies its fate
Arguments tangential makes a date
Equality is a delusion
In it searching for the solution
Fooling oneself beyond reason
It is skewed is the acceptance

Dignity and class
Consistency and empathy
The glue keeping
It from falling apart
Selfish reasons play a role
Denying it making oneself a fool

Breaking the chord
An easy affair
Took years to build
Ready to say farewell
A moment of reflection
On the good that was done
Slow downs the process of a hasty conclusion

Simmering differences kept
Under pressure for a time
Exact time chosen to stop pretend
Explode simultaneously at both ends
No


Respect the other
Don't cross the line
From a bore to a villain
Swings the perception
Aware of the qualities
Not indulging in whataboutery
Being blind to the faults
Is the only way to see the whole thing last
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Bottles of Alcohol
Hidden in the house
Beds Cupboards and toilets
Empty spaces becoming crates

Full empty or half filled
Not the optimist pessimist parable
Binge drinking continuous shows
Film without ****** on the roll


State of Alcoholic Coma
After week's of drama
Acts and deeds done
Three sheets to the wind

The abode of evil
Not with the devil
John Barleycorn straight up
Wrong horse galloping downhill

Clock on the wall stopped
Without food for days
Wallets credit limit reached
Beg borrow or steal for the refill

Wake drink sleep repeat
Fight Abuse Beat repeat
Fall injure Bleed repeat
Blackout Blackout Blackout repeat

Respect Esteem sailed away
On the waves of the drinks gulped away
Empty bottles floating along
Reminding  that in society no more belong

Myraid of Mirages
Illusions fuelled hallucinations
Duelling with  brain
Telling you reality is not the same

Delusion creates the fear
Interval between clarity
Yearning for normalcy
Sequential dreams more scary
KV Srikanth May 2022
A burden called the Past
A fear called the future
One we know everything about
Another we know nothing about
Knowledge and Ignorance
Are the greatest assets
Mortgaging them in return for burden
Is like  not the brightest light in the box
Going in a wild goose chase
Looking for a grindstone to blossom into a rose
Engaged in Sisyphean task of counting to infinity twice
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
Respect for self
Lies in the belief
You deserve the best
Settling for nothing else

Action is the way
To be in the fray
Just a turn away
From where your ambitions lay

Always respect yourself
Carefully treat the self
Are the necessary steps
Dwell on it till death

Haughty or harmless
Egoistic or modest
You get treated by the rest
In reflected self respect

Intrinsic nature unnoticed
Qualities largely ignored
Personality to the fore
Judgements others hold

Sense of fullness
Happy about life
Grateful for the gifts
Thankful for the insults

Consistency in conduct
Not the solution
Hacking the inessintial
Life's most essential

Tolerance for disrespect
Nothing to circumspect
Best answer is silence
Just a mirror to its presence
KV Srikanth Apr 2022
Staying positive hoping
The outcome will be welcome
Being negative without faith
The outcome if going to be filled with problems
State of mind either way
Will the final result change
Better frame of mind
For us to be in
Vibe spreading has value
One better than the other  is construed
Best is to stay neutral
Not for not against
Thus remaining non judgemental
The results them don't bother us
As both sides we are prepared for any result
KV Srikanth Feb 2021
Act or Thought
Karma ball rolling
Slowpy Rink
Good or Bad
Finds it's way back

Act of Malice
Intent intact
Dont react
Ability limited

Wish no harm
Calm before a Storm
Karma never misses
An Address
The way of the Universe

Act of good
An act of God
Pure by defenition
Pay it forward

Value power
Given by god
Limited in time
Tables turn
Always do

Revenge natural
Thought process
Akin to Alcohol
Gives you a high
Reality a downer

Karma gives
Interest calculated
Comes when
Least expected
Valued in a currency
Not issued by a country
Has it's own system
Delayed or Denied
Not fathomable
By Mankind

Instant Or Suspended
Postponed or Deffered
Vetoed never
Knocks again
And again

Get served
What you deserve
Sit back and watch
You have no Choice
Freedom in action
None in Repentance

Not for but by
Karma swings by
Create your drama
Live your Karma
Sow the seed
Thought or deed
Goes its route
Funny way of
Coming back enroute

KV Srikanth Jan 2022
Have a blessed day
friends wished today
What a better way to start a day
When you have  friends to pray
Blessed am i not
To go to the same institution
To start my education
What comes first is not my erudition
To create a bond with such large hearted persons
Consistent in their affection
Their popularity always attracted attention
Easy going charming and witty
Sports Studies and Cultural Activities came to them naturally
I too grew trying to imbibe many a quality
A friend in need and deed
No better company to be indeed
Miles apart ways of the world
Always in my heart ways of the Soul
KV Srikanth Jun 2021
Hurting someone  purposely
Injury caused previously
At the Recieving end
Wanting to tie loose ends

A matter of memory
Exact opposite of Harmony
Filled with enimity
In line with its enormity

Got away with their deed
Harming intent their seed
Impetus to cause insult
Resolute in their conduct

Unapologetic demeanor
Justifying their behavior
Their motive your failure
As a result of the orders order

Success in their pursuit
Kicking the ladder under your boot
Shake you at your very root
Whole life have to reboot

Predictable in its unpredictability
Lawful lawlessness
Universally
Impermanent in seemingly permanency
Order in Chaos judgment delivered finally

Wanting to get back
Hurt them on their track
Insult added with interest
Their fall the required result

Natural feeling of revenge
Time to settle the grievance
Use all the weapons
They repent their actions

Matter of pride
Chance to deride
Proving the self right
Time decides might

Feeling replaces thinking
Heart the deciding *****
Futility of such actions
Void of knee **** reactions

Hurting the other
Makes you no better
If you had to suffer
Was decided by the maker

Learn from the insult
Giving it back doesn't change the result
Patience is progress
Brings forth your strengths

Mind looks inward
Vengeance a step backwards
Action not growth oriented
Even a thought not worth invested

Forgive them forever
For yourself not the other
Not your business to deliver
Or to see if its delivered

Change in a person
Brought by action
Nothing more delusional
Than to make it personal

Learnt his lesson
Karma knows its mission
Our own conclusions
Lack of Transcendence

Settling the score
Remove from the core
Forever remaining sore
Spiraling down asking for more


Let them be
No choice than to be
Our nature is not to be this or be that
It is just to be

On the contrary
Wish them to be happy
Their nature is to sting
Our nature is being Zen

Revenge is a dish best not served
KV Srikanth Dec 2021
Day differs from Day
Passing it away
The toughest game to play
Time as the opponent ticking away

Lonely and seeking
Seeking what is the question
Seeking only when lonely
Alone or lonely the first question

Rocking the chair
Rocked by life
Despair and Content
Dichotomy with consent

Smoke from the ciggerate
Makes the clock move faster
In reality making life shorter
With reference to what is where I differ

Detailed recalling to
Far fetched day dreaming
Mind full of thoughts of flowing
Pastime made out of past reflecting

Thoughts merge within
Bringing clarity so it seems
Smoke filled air looming
Indication perhaps of what's coming

Predicting knowing the odds
99 to 1 in favor of the gods
Old habits die hard
Perhaps more births to learn the path
KV Srikanth Feb 2022
Riding the Rodeo
Not falling of the saddle
Bumpy ride ahead
You knew the battle
Falling off nature's order
Why did you fall
All that matters
Next time a better try
Don't fall for the same reason
Fall again learn again
Wrangling the horse
You think you've mastered
Rodeo throws in s bull
Cannot sit still
Rules of the game
Remain the same
Its not the horse or the bull
That cannot stay still
Its you on the inside
Giving yourself the bumpy ride
Stay still and try the drill
Nothing changes outside
But now you don't fall of the saddle
KV Srikanth Feb 2022
Some people live life
Rest only hide from it
Heart on the sleeve
Facing the heat
Relishing every moment
Counting it as a blessing
Cought in the downpour
Walking through the desert
They threw the dice
Number that comes up
Decides their fate
Living life is a blind date
Work out any which way
Bail out of the date
Life still happens anyway
Afraid to climb the mountains
Standing below wondering about slipping
Doesn't change anything
Facing the fear lot less painful
Than Running away from it
Swinging on the pendulum
On both ends of the spectrum
What happens in between
Is the life that's destined
Dealt with cards wanting to fold
The folded card still gets its due
KV Srikanth May 2022
Be like the bamboo
Gives way to the Storm
Comes back to its position
After the storm is gone

Be flexible in your approach
Rigidity never opened doors
Learn to give in
Its ok if the other man wins

Use the path
Of minimum resistance
Be one with the opponent
Converting his strength as yours

Honestly express yourself
Not being fake or putting up a facade
In thoughts and actions
Let there be no pretense

Be spontaneous and aloof
Practice spontaneous action
Adapt like a shadow
Respond like an echo
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
What goes comes around
Back at you
Time can't tell
Careful what you sell
Will get sold to you as well
The price being the lesson
That comes along with
Buyer and seller may vary
Price already decided
By your act
Remains constant
Will get delivered or taken away
Great alarm bell
Inside your memory cell
Infusing in a step by step process
Never delayed never denied
Never lapsed never pardoned
Delivered intact for maximum impact
When and where being beware
Prayer with fanfare can't save you from the electric chair
Still get your share
Fair and square
Connoisseur of serendipity
Flag bearer for destiny
For attempting a Mutiny
Against nature's fortuity
The way the ball bounced
Or the cookie crumbles
Handwritten on the wall
Or the foretell the stars
You reap what you sow
Sow with a conscience
You don't even need gods benovalence
If you realise that in the the sowing and reaping
He is omnipresent
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
Did I act
Or speak out the fact
That the behaviour lacked tact
Creating a  lifelong impact

Moved away like a rat
Afraid of getting the flak
For defending the right to
Leave a soul intact

Inability to avenge
Bottled up rage
Turned to revenge
Towards a kid at the cusp of teenage

Sucker for the position
The  society's estimation
Lack of a jobs humiliation
Or the salary proposition

Which one I wonder
Did I barter
Balance things in order
Selfishness the cancer

Sell my Soul
Or simply cried foul
My escape route
Citing lack of gratitude
KV Srikanth Apr 2022
Disposition and Perception
Born with and acquired along with
Making of one's true character
The core of the mind and heart empire

Task at hand
A decision to be taken⁶
There's the easy and the right
Take the right face it now
Take the easy sleepless forever

Whatever be the pressure
Even a Second thought Is a misfire
Naturally  go towards  tougher
It will rest easier

Conscience the device
That connects body mind and soul
Reflects to the outside
Questions and Answers by itself

Scruples and Principles
Sense of right and wrong
Conscience judges the behaviour
Represents you to yourself

Wrong deed done
Thought process corrupted
Character valued less
By ourselves no more by  others

Equity and Justice
Mercy and Kindness
Only way to remain
When the conscience asks questions

Small window of chance
To regain the pride
Can't undo the done
Repentance second best option


Against your core
Not feeling neccasary
Or coming for the ****
Face to face realise not so uphill

Running away has no destination
Restless mind permanently branding
Get back on the saddle and get back to town
The train arrives at High Noon
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Directions of the mind
Thoughts causing traffic jams
Wandering away from centre
Topics past future and dreams

Extrapolation does the manipulation
Imagination with nothing to give reality
Bumpy road added with speed breakers
Full throttle ends in a misdemeanor


Centred around us or
In a zone totally alien
Accumulated thought process
Does not know where to rest

Opinions Beliefs and Ideas
Dysfunctional in its pedigree
Poisoned by the debris
Exiting albeit only temporarily

Bedlam and chaos
No empty seats
Resembles a mob scene
Deluge  resulting in a stampede
KV Srikanth Apr 2021
Bottle of Gin
Another of Whiskey
Combination deadly
Weak or mighty
Takes you on a dizzy
Neat and Straight
On the Rocks
Drink of the century
Called Ginskey

The keys to kingdom
Fantasy at its Apogee
Opening the minds vault
Add some 70 s rock

Lustrate the Spirit
Pay paradise a visit
Mind on it's own tour
Cleanse your Soul

Take your Swigs
Match it to the Rhythm beats
The Band is on
Waltz along with its song

Sense of time
A matter of time
Time erases time
For a period of time

Only time is the time
Pink Floyd wrote this time
Dark side of the Moon
Creating it's own universe
Magic of its music and verse

Recreating the cocktail
Inside your head playing wonders
Outside hands doing it by the numbers
Body mind coordinated
Only gin and whiskey concentrated

Orchestrated music
Blowing of the record
Grateful Dead again and again
Miracle for ticket denied
Board hanging around the neck
Miracle not when the Dead are hot

Quaffing the dual
Whiskey and gin
Engaged in a duel
Energy and fuel
Seeing things multiple

Hearing sounds
Clearing doubts
Happens on it's own
Heart and Music glued
To the magic of  The Doors Roadhouse blues


Sipping Slurping
For amateurs
Pro time is Straight time
From the Bottle
Making it simple
Running wild
Feeling connected with thinking
Mind and heart
On the background of
Label and label
Full throttle Deep Purple

Exhillarating Experience
*** Valiant
Cowardice pushed out
Locomotive breath jets out
Jethrotull album Aqualung
On population explotion
Imagination straddling with exploration

Combine the Downer
Illusionary upper
Listen to the upper
Never a downer
Hangover only later
Only when time matters
Never gonna be a tomorrow
Goodbye to all sorrows
Cest la Vie sang Lake
Emerson Lake Palmer

Half Seas Over
Mirage of Dinner
Reality for the Dreamer
Drunken Dreamer
Profound philosopher
Path leading away
Stairway to Heaven
Song of the Century
With Led Zeppelin

Symposium in session
Music Whiskey Gin
In coordination
Fluctuation  Freezed
Focussed orientation
Clapton  Cream  tear the air's
Disraeli Gears plays say goodbye  to despair

Katzenjammer awaiting the arrival
Amethyst not rivaled
on the Greeks prevailed
Forever in this trip
No need for a catalyst
To counter music and the bottle
Magic results caused by magic
On a bus of Magic
The Who playing
Its last tune

Woven into a lullaby
Back after reaching the skies
Eyes stop to wander
Implosive musical wonder
Experience Nuclear
Which ever way the word
You want to decipher

Good night
Old cowboy
Saddled against the wind
All along life
Saddle with the wind
Music Gin Whiskey
Providing company
Till life and its key
Cant restart the ticking
KV Srikanth Apr 2022
Sailing away to seas away
Thoughts swaying on whether to stay
Home with security and care
Loved ones with woes to share

In search of a future
Bright as the morning sun
Also mixed in pleasure and fun
Far off horizons waiting to enlighten

Travel and education
Two knots of the cradle
Lullabies of wisdom
Imparted  with momentum

Landing on the shores
Waves hitting the deck
Still missing the folks
Optimism the guard making sure you don't fall

In search of something
You already had from  the beginning
Why take the journey
Search needed in order to realise that the search is not needed

Looking back waves recede
As if to tell you to proceed
Fail and again and take the rap
Never learnt if still with mom and dad

Enter the process
Has no exit to offer
Process the answer
Learning even when falter

Experiences stored in memory
Will tell your life's story
Decides the human being you are
Life is always played on par

Your night is their day
That's the way nature made
Writing your life's first draft
Never say goodbye cause you ain't apart
KV Srikanth May 2022
Hair style till it adds
Beauty to oneself
Looking good in his own eye trying to look better in the mirror
At the saloon during a haircut
The same hair treated worse than dust
Treated with shampoo conditioner and gel
Now brushed away from the body the second it falls in us
An analogy to life none greater than the hair
If you are where you are supposed to be you get the respect even without asking
The second there is no need for use
Even your presence will be looked down upon and ignored forever
A fall from a position
Help find the true friend
KV Srikanth May 2022
Destiny took a turn
When i was four
Had vision problems
Could not see the black board

Forced to wear glasses
Bearing very high power
In the early seventies
Not very sophisticated

Thick and heavy
Layered and awkward
Wearing one to see
One in my bag for emergency

Became a target in school
For teachers and students alike
A victim to bully
No other target was easy

Called names like 4 eyes
They would take away my glasses
Not return it for houses
Almost blinded and struck by fear

The teachers were no less
Would catch their eye
With my conspicuous frame
A lane target my vision to blame

Savage in their treatment
Would get hit on my knuckles
As a form of punishment
Steel scale used as a weapon

Like a disease it spread
Neighbourhood was no less
Jokes would be made
Everyday put to shame

The frames weight
Would bring it down
Held by my nose bridge
I'd push it back to eye level

Did not realise
It looked silly and funny
Branded as a nut
Parents were summoned to school to call me a lunatic

The name stuck
Followed me forever
Playing Table Tennis my passion
One more place to be the victim

Same story different place
Match announced but never let me play
Held on to my glasses and racquet and made me beg
No respite for no fault of mine

Teachers Students Neighbours
Principal Vice Principal and others
No place to hide
Wherever i went always bore the brunt

Confidence took a beating
Started compulsive lying
Called out on every lie
Liar tag attached to the cuckoo already there

Abused made fun of beaten and targeted
Weakest link in any chain was guaranteed
Became the image that was projected
Helpless in solitary i used to cry

Tried to become likeable
Instead of being sensible
People pleasing would do the  miracle
Wrongly assumed the bigger became the battles

Trampled upon for no reason
Father's pet a new reason
Life at home was catching up
Only place left was filling up

Wanted to study in America
Not fit for decided my sister in law
She wanted to go before i had no idea
My I 20 was sent back saying no such person existed

Life at a dead end
Competition with me for no reason
Pushed life to the brink
Wanted me to fully sink

Father's favourite son
Went unpunished for every sin
The impression in people's thoughts
How wrong they were by far

First time for my father
Didn't know how to handle
Was as boxed in a corner as i was
I was getting the punches he was bleeding in his heart

Bully the word that sums it all
Bullied was all my life what i was
Me for being myself that is all
What was my fault ?

A victim of bullying
Shooed away by many human beings
All walks of life treated like a worm
Finally turned to Bruce Lee the God of Anti Bullying
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
The movie plays
Actors become the characters they play
We remain we
Aware Its an illusion

Our reality doesn't change
But fictional reality inspires us
This emotion makes Superstars out of actors
The reason that the house gets sold out


We worship the hero
Knowing that Its acting
Nothing about it real
Acting the word says it all

The happy and sad events
We know is unique to this movie
Our problems remain the same
And do not change

Movie making is no secret
Universities and books teach you that talent
They've made it hoping you'd like it
Planned out move to circumvent reality

Identification with the star of the film
Is their objective from the beginning you took
It was an actor before he became a Superstar
Performance of unreal things
Makes him the superstar


The Mirage projected
We assimilate inside
Believe it for a period
Come out with an altered subconscious

Reality and fantasy
The brain acting selectively
Fantasy becomes reality
Reality not taken so seriously


Akin to having a drink
A high that happens
Everything seems better than what is
There's no hangover is the positive

Transported to places
Riding in a horse along in a western
Flying Wingman in a war picture
Falken for love with a beautiful woman in a Romance
Laughing hearts out in a comedy

Lights on Screen blank
Merged both realties
Wanting to see it again
Is exactly what the makers want it

Out of the cinemas
Feeling good about life
How long does the feeling last
Depends on how many drinks you've had
KV Srikanth Feb 2022
Another day went away
Awaiting a good tomorrow
And a better day after
The days are the same
Our thoughts play the game
Ranking in order of  change
For good or bad we decide
Whole picture have no Idea
Deciding the quality of a film
By the commercials screened before it begins
A silent observer to the day
Not linear our life's screenplay
Awareness that we don't know
Is the secret to know what you know
KV Srikanth Jan 2022
Accomplishments and Achievements
Degrees and Positions
Deemed by the universe
That you are a successful person

These give a sense of satisfaction
For all we need is ego glorification
Time up for redemption
Null and void the reason for existence

Be happy but never satisfied
Perversely fulfilling the converse
Happiness elusive inspite of search
Place to search needs research

Gratitude not a branch of joy
But the very  seed that springs the tree
There for all of us to see
Plays Houdini on us missing the piece

A thank you
For all we got
For all that God forgot
Or so we thought

Simplicity is the key
Two words expressing how we feel
Fake it and make it till its real
Thank you with gratitude seal the deal
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
